English Literature and Creative Writing BA (Hons)

Our BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing combines literary criticism with the craft of writing. You’ll have some flexibility to tailor your learning to the type of writing you feel most passionate about, with a choice of critical or creative assignments appearing on most modules. In workshops, you’ll critique a range of literary styles, genres and movements – from Shakespeare and Dickens to Gothic, modernism and magical realism. You’ll look at how writers have transformed the portrayal of the world and reshaped the ways we think about literature and about the human condition.
